Variable Mortgages

Discover the versatility of variable-rate mortgages. Variable-rate mortgages offer borrowers flexibility in adapting to changing market conditions, with interest rates that may fluctuate over time. Explore our comprehensive resources and expert guidance to navigate the dynamic landscape of variable-rate mortgages and find the perfect fit for your financial goals.

How to make Variable Rate Mortgages Work for You

Establish an Emergency Fund

It's crucial to set aside money in an emergency fund to prepare for potential increases in your mortgage payments. This fund acts as a financial buffer, providing peace of mind that you can handle unexpected rate hikes without jeopardising your financial stability.

Monitor Interest Rates

It's essential to stay informed about economic conditions and interest rate trends. Regularly follow financial news, subscribe to updates from reputable sources, and keep an eye on key economic indicators such as inflation, employment rates, and central bank policies.

Consider Overpayments

Making overpayments on your variable rate mortgage is strategic, reducing the principal balance faster and lowering total interest over the loan's life. By paying extra, you decrease your outstanding balance and create a financial cushion against rate increases.

Benefits of Variable Rate Mortgages

Discover the financial benefits of variable rate mortgages and take control of your homeownership journey.

Lower Initial Interest Rates

Variable-rate mortgages often start with lower initial interest rates compared to fixed-rate mortgages.

Flexibility

Variable-rate mortgages provide borrowers with flexibility, as the interest rate and monthly payments can adjust over time in response to changes in market conditions.

Protection Against Rate Increases

While variable-rate mortgages are subject to interest rate fluctuations, many come with caps or limits on how much the interest rate can increase at each adjustment period or over the life of the loan.

Option to Switch to Fixed-Rate Mortgage

Borrowers with variable-rate mortgages have the option to switch to a fixed-rate mortgage at any time, providing stability and predictability in monthly payments if desired.

Potential Drawbacks

Explore the factors to consider when choosing a variable rate mortgage and make informed decisions about your financial future.

Interest Rate Uncertainty

Variable-rate mortgages are subject to interest rate fluctuations, which can result in uncertainty and volatility in monthly mortgage payments.

Risk of Higher Payments

If interest rates increase significantly over the life of the loan, borrowers with variable-rate mortgages may face higher monthly mortgage payments compared to those with fixed-rate mortgages.

Higher Long-Term Interest Costs

While variable-rate mortgages may offer lower initial interest rates compared to fixed-rate mortgages, borrowers may end up paying more in interest over the life of the loan if interest rates rise significantly.

Budgeting Challenges

Variable-rate mortgages can make budgeting more challenging, as borrowers may need to account for potential fluctuations in their monthly mortgage payments.

Danielle was recommended to us by EA and we didn’t hesitate to approach her. She is knowledgeable and thorough. Above all, though, she is encouraging and patient. During the many ups and downs of our sale/purchase and very soon to be completion, Danielle has been an incredible support. We trust her advice totally and are very confident that she has secured us the very best deal. We recommend her without reservation and are extremely grateful to her.

Aaron was personally and highly recommended to us to assist with a mortgage for our house move and we could not be happier! Aaron is professional, highly efficient, communicative, very patient and most of all friendly and helpful! From our initial introduction, Aaron has answered all of our many questions and moved at a pace that has helped us line up all the ducks in good time for a chain with both selling and buying. Aaron really has gone above and beyond, including supporting us with conveyancer, building insurance, life insurance and income protection recommendations and options to consider. The conveyancers, in particular, have also blown us away at their efficiency and communication in getting things moving for us. I don't actually think there is anything Aaron can't do! He's quite simply the only mortgage advisor you'll ever need and a very nice chap too! :) Thank you Aaron and the Try Financial team for being absolutely fantastic! We won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone and everyone for your brilliant services. You've been an absolute pleasure from the start and made the whole process very easy indeed. Thank you!

Aaron Scott helped me with a relatively complex second charge mortgage application (I am self employed). He was incredibly helpful throughout, even though the lender made a habit of asking the same or similar questions repeatedly and took several weeks to reach a positive lending decision. Very highly recommended.
